Just wondering what some of you prefer when it comes to looking at a trade page or a sell page.Do you prefer a link in the thread that takes you to the cards or do you prefer to have the scans already there in the thread for your viewing.PLMK.Thanks,Winston.:)
 
Winston. For me, it would depend on how well the trade page link is organized. If it was just a bunch of cards, with no rhyme or reason to the format, it is just as easy to look at scans. If the trade page was organized by team, it would be way better for me than scans. One thing I really do not like, is trade pages where there is the word 'gone' on top of a picture. If you do not have it for trade anymore, get it off the trade page. :|
 
I like the scans to be in the thread. Sometimes it can take awhile to look through someone's bucket, especially if it isn't well organized.
 
Id much rather open the page and see the cards in question right there... its much easier to make the decision on if your interested depending on condition.
 
Always prefer scans to be in the thread. I ignore sale threads that send me to photobucket pages completely.

First, when I get sent to somebody's photobucket page I feel they are just being lazy. Second, I'm far less inclined to offer to buy something from their photobucket page simply because it feels like a waste of time to ask if that particular card is available. After seeing the number of times people respond with "oh I just traded that card" it just seems like a hassle. Show the specific cards that are available in your 'for sale' thread, it's so much easier that way.
 
definitely scans. I hate rummaging through photobucket. I find that site and a lot of photobuckets themselves painfully confusing and SLOW.
 
Thanks a lot for the opinions.I like scans in the thread as well but I also understand that it is more work to do that.Thanks,Winston.
 
More work but at least everyone gets to see quick. Everyone wants easy when possible.That being said I do enjoy surfing buckets to look at pc Collections

A detailed card listing. Easy to read, and see if there is any player listed I care about. Plus, even the largest lists can fit on a single page.

With scans you have to ply thru page after page. Scans are a nice backup, but considering parallels and such it makes it a pain if there is no text description with a page of scans.
